NOTE:  This is an OVR Sanctioned event and all OVR tournament
rules will be followed--NO exceptions.  Several rules also deal
with spectators (food, coolers, seating, etc).  So, please pass
this information onto your parents.

For the 16s division, there are 2 courts of pool-play (3 teams per
pool).  For pools of 3 teams, the best of 3 sets will win matches.
 Each non-deciding set will be won by the team that first scores
25 points with a minimum 2-point advantage (no scoring cap). If
there is a deciding set, it will be won by the team that first
scores 15 points with a minimum 2-point advantage (no scoring
cap).  After the first round, teams will be re-seeded based on
pool results.  The second round matches will determine playoff
positions on the tournament bracket.  Playoffs:  All teams advance
to Gold playoffs.  Playoff positions on the tournament bracket
will be based on match results from the second round.  For any
ties, the OVR tie-breaking procedure will be used.

The best of 3 sets will win matches.  Each non-deciding set will
be won by the team that first scores 25 points with a minimum
2-point advantage (no scoring cap). If there is a deciding set, it
will be won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum
2-point advantage (no scoring cap).  Playoffs:  All first and
second-place teams advance to Gold playoffs.  The third and
fourth-place teams will advance to the Silver playoffs.  Playoff

A concession stand will be available with food and drinks, hosted

prohibited in AND outside facilities hosting OVR-sanctioned
events.  Setting up tables and/or cooking by teams or their
support staff, fans, coaches, or parents are prohibited at
OVR-sanctioned events.  Coolers must be left in your vehicle.  If
the following rules are not complied with, it will result in a
fine of up to $250 and a team/club suspension.

It is the responsibility of the club director to provide complete 
and correct rosters prior to the tournament or during the coaches
meeting.  An up-to-date entry form must be submitted at the
coaches meeting, prior to the start of pool play AND signed by the
coach.  All team entry information should include the following:
*club name/team name (e.g. Exemplar VBC 14 Titans)
*11-character team code (e.g. MJ8-EXEMP1-OV)
*team registration number (e.g. OV-MJ-1234)
*registration numbers for all participating players and coaches
*uniform numbers for all participating players

A team arriving late for its first match has a 10-minute grace
period after the warm-up before forfeiting its first set.  This is
followed by another 10-minute period before that team forfeits its
second set.  However, the match is not delayed if six players from
that team are present at any time during this delay period.

Only USAV members may be in the playing area to assist with
warm-ups.  Prior to each team's first match of the day, the
mandatory warm-ups are to consist of 15 minutes (7 minutes shared,
no hitting across net), 4 minutes serving team, 4 minutes
receiving team.  After each team's first match, the mandatory
warm-up time between all matches is will be 10 minutes, consisting
of 2 minutes of shared ball handling on-court, 4 minutes
full-court for the serving team, and 4 minutes full-court for the
receiving team.  During each team's full-court warm-up segment,
the opposing team must be in their bench area and not interfere
with the team using the court.  However for purposes of risk
management, the "off" team may help with retrieving balls for the
team warming up, provided both teams' coaches agree.  Teams that
wish to practice serving during the warm-ups may ask to be
informed when they have one minute (or more/less) remaining in
their 4-minute period. Shared serving between the two teams is not
permitted.  This applies to all matches.  The time between sets is
3 minutes.  Teams may warm up with balls on their respective
courts or free zone during the 3-minute set intervals.  Spiking at
the net is not permitted.  Balls may not be used for warm-ups
during time-outs.

Support crew must provide (6 people):
*2 line judges
*competent 2nd referee (or coach must assume this duty)
*competent junior scorebook keeper (or coach must assume this
duty)
*flip scorer
*libero tracker

A coach must be courtside if their team is acting as the support
team. For pool play and tournament, teams are required to supply
the following support officials for pool play and for the
playoffs: one second referee, two line judges, one scorer, one
assistant scorer/Libero tracker, and one scoreboard operator. 
Support officials are to report to their court's referee as
follows: The R2 and Scorer should report to the court official at
the coin toss.  If they are not present by the beginning of the
first timed warm-up, their team will be penalized one point
(awarded to their next opponent) for every minute that they are
late.  The rest of the support crew (line judges, scoreboard
operator and libero tracker) must report to their court's referee
no later than the beginning of the second timed warm-up, or their
team will be penalized one point per minute (awarded to their next
opponent) for every minute they are late.  If no
additional matches are to be played in that tournament, the
tournament director shall file an incident report with the OVR
commissioner and a $50 fine shall be imposed. 

Flash photography is prohibited during play.  Use of video
recorders and cameras is limited to the team with which the person
using the device is directly associated.  Use of phones, music
players, and other electronic devices (excluding medical devices)
by officiating teams is strictly prohibited.  If anyone from the
support team is found using one of these devices, their team shall
give up ten points to their next opponent.  If no additional
matches are to be played in that tournament, a $50 fine shall be
imposed.  Please make sure that all of the coaches and players are
aware of this rule.

A team canceling after the entry deadline, 14 days prior to the
tournament date, will forfeit its entry fee.  A team canceling
prior to the entry deadline does not forfeit its full entry fee if
a replacement team is found.  Phone or other expenses incurred to
find a replacement may be deducted from the entry fee refund.  A
team canceling from one tournament to enter a different tournament
will forfeit its entry fee.  If a team requests and receives entry
into a tournament but does not pay its entry fee, the teams' club
will be fined the amount of the entry fee.

If the tournament location is affected by weather conditions, the
tournament may be canceled.  The tournament director shall make a
